The results of this study support the use of the eODQ in a native English-speaking population and highlight the different distinctions between "objective" testing of olfaction with the Sniffin' Sticks test, and the patient reported impact of olfactory dysfunction on daily life. These two types of assessment can be easily administered in an outpatient setting and used in the assessment and management of olfactory dysfunction.
